I'd like to see them here tbh. I hate no knowing when stock comes in. I miss the personal attention received from one store in particular. That said, the stores we do have are obviously successful and do not need the additional promotions as all stores receive comments both good and bad.

Dangerous thread... I personally have come to expect nothing and hope for the best although our lfs is getting better . But again our lfs is a multi pet store (not a big chain store) and doesn't have the.... How do I say .... Incentive to focus on just fish alone... But he does try and recently set up a new system. The only thing I would hope for is more of the staff to research and have more knowledge. Not for me as such but newbies coming in. I can't say much for other provinces/ cities other than I'm jealous of the options and availability you guys have over us in Regina. We usually have to tack on a ton of shipping charges to get anything awe inspiring coral wise.

That is all lol good luck with the topic

Webpage! Only one LFS in Calgary got an webpage and updates regularly about the new arrivals! That would save a lot of time and disappointment of going to LFS and finding nothing new; particularly for people like me who have to use public transport and lets be honest, Calgary's transit have lots and lots of scope of improvement.

Problem I see with a website is that if I announce everything new in each week, you're not likely to drop in if I don't have what you want. I'd announce new shipments, but you need to come in to see what's arrived. And buy some food, and putty, and frag plugs. Oh, and you need a new heater while you're here...
